Where it came from
Headstone was released in 1995 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion set titled Homelands. The set was designed to explore the lore of the plane of Ulgrotha, a gothic, horror-influenced setting focused on the struggle between powerful ancient entities. Mechanically, the card was intended to provide players with a graveyard manipulation tool, allowing for the exile of a target card from any graveyard to address specific strategies involving recursion or graveyard-based triggers.
The artwork for the card was created by artist Anson Maddocks, who was known for his distinct, often surreal contributions to the game's early visual identity. His illustration for Headstone captures a somber, atmospheric tone consistent with the set’s thematic commitment to dark fantasy and morbidity. While Homelands is often regarded by the player base as one of the game's lower-powered expansions, the card remains a notable artifact of the mid-1990s effort to expand the narrative scope of the card game.
